1. Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.

A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.

Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?

(A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.

(B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.

(C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.

(D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past six years.（D）

(E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.

我认为选A,但答案是D.the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth 并不一定是the past six years.请NN帮忙指点

本题我也疑惑中，但觉的A应该不对，它只是短文中第2句的逆命题，自然意思会有偏颇，但答案D应该也有问题，因为enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder不能说明The corporation has expanded steadily 。 我觉得E应该是对的，因为既然没有法律案件证明他是有罪的，也就是说所有的法律诉讼都最后宣布他无罪。

请指点。

"Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show,..."应该是这句话说明了corporation has expanded steadily,而时"enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder".

也许此题的考点是"steadily"是unbroken" 的同义替换吧.因为其他选项确实都可以排除.我选A只是因为觉得其他都不对.THANK U ALL

unbroken并不能说明是steadily的吧，如果我第一年增长10%，第二年80%，第三年又是10%,这个不能叫steadily吧.....

我选了C....谁能帮忙解释一下啊....想不明白C哪里错
